I'm specifically talking about comments that say they haven't read it, but that they side with Europe. Look through the thread, there's a ton like that

"the industry"

If one company does though they're basically screwed as I understand it.....

Are you saying that upon reading a sentence like

"Meta disagrees with European regulation"

That you don't have an immediate guess at which party you are most likely to agree with?

I do and I think most people do.

I'm not about to go around spreading my uninformed opinion though. What my comment said was that I was surprised at people's kneejerk reaction that Europe must be right, especially on HN. Perhaps I should have also chided those people for commenting at all, but that's hindsight for you.

I feel like Europe does a plenty good job of that itself

I was specifically referring to several comments that specifically stated that they did not know what the regulation was, but that they assumed Europe was right and Meta was wrong.

I, prior to reading the details of the regulation myself, was commenting on my surprise at the default inclinations of people.

At no point did I pass judgement on the regulation and even after reading a little bit on it I need to read more to actually decide whether I think it's good or bad.

Being American it impacts me less, so it's lower on my to do list.

All they needed to do was have a primary, but they didn't

I voted for her, but I didn't do it because I *wanted* her.

All corporations that exist everywhere make worse decisions than Europe is a weirdly broad statement to make.

I mean, getting USB-C to be usable on everything is like a nice-to-have, I wouldn't call it "very successful policy".

I'm specifically referring to several comments that say they have not read the regulation at all, but think it must be good if Meta opposes it.

Yeah it's kinda weird.

Feels like I need to go find a tech site full of people who actually like tech instead of hating it.

I don't remember saying anything about blindly deciding things being a good thing.

I mean, ideally no one would side blindly at all :D

I'm surprised that most of the comments here are siding with Europe blindly?

Am I the only one who assumes by default that European regulation will be heavy-handed and ill conceived?

Yes, I had forgotten about that. Was super weird and forced into conversations from what I saw.

Definitely a bit of a trend now with mecha hitler...

What Nazi images?

The white genocide thing I remember hearing about and looked really forced

I posted the Wikipedia page, do you really think I don't know how long ago Tay was? I don't think the capabilities matter if we're just talking about chat bots being racist online.

Also IDK what you mean by third+ flavor? I'm not familiar with other bad Grok releases, but I don't really use it, I just see it's responses on Twitter. Also do you not remember the Google image model that made the founding fathers different races by default?

It absolutely has not been claiming that it's "MechaHitler" since it was released.

Try.

You didn't read the article so your opinion is void.

They spammed their girlfriend's account only which the author had them set up for exactly that purpose.

Trying and not trying makes a difference IMO

I read it as an incredulous and increasingly pissed off person absolutely dunking on a smug person's attitude and success who has done so in a fashion they find completely unacceptable.

I will fondly remind folks that Grok isn't even the first LLM to become a Nazi on Twitter.

Remember Tay Tweets?

Honestly I really don't think a bad release of an LLM that was rolled back is really the condemnation you think it is.

Yep, exactly

You're assuming discrimination on the basis of groups. That seems bad to me.

Laws and their enforcement are a clusterfuck. To achieve greater justice we should strive towards better judgements overall.

God, stop with the group on group bs please and engage with things the way they're written without injecting the entirety of your cynical worldview layered on top.

Bad decisions should not be repeated in the name of fair application.

> So all they have to do is go and buy a copy of each book they pirated.

For anyone else who wants to do the same thing though this is likely all they need to do.

Cutting up and scanning books is hard work and actually doing the same thing digitally to ebooks isn't labor free either, especially when they have to be downloaded from random sites and cleaned from different formats. Torrenting a bunch of epubs and paying for individual books is probably cheaper

Idk, I think most people in tech I talk to IRL think it is fair use?

I think the overly liberal, non-tech crowd has become really vocal on HN as of late and your sample is likely biased by these people.

Presumably the person is doing work on it on an ongoing basis..... This isn't that hard to figure out

To add some variety, I think the images look fine.

Idk wtf is wrong with these people whining about AI generated images.

No one advertises LLMs as a replacement for literature or news and those are some of the highest profile legal cases I'm aware of. Code generation is another relatively high profile case, but in those cases I've not really seen any copyrightable code reproduced by an LLM without the prompter specifically trying to make it happen.
